Summary: In the valley of Fruitless mountain, a young girl named Minli lives in a ramshackle hut with her parents. In the evenings, her father regales her with old folktales of the Jade Dragon and the Old Man on the Moon, who knows the answers to all of life's questions. Inspired by these stories, Minli sets off on an extraordinary journey to find the Old Man on the Moon to ask him how she can change her family's fortune. She encounters an assorted cast of characters and magical creatures along the way, including a dragon who accompanies her on her quest for the ultimate answer.
My thoughts: Somehow this did not feel like just 4 hours, it takes you on a whole journey and they really didn't go that far I think. It follows Minli but you also get lots of other stories along the way told by others that are interconnected and I liked every single one. I was so impressed by this work and am excited to read more of this author's stuff. And to reread this someday!
The narration by Janet Song was fantastic too.
